Florid cutaneous papillomatosis (also known as Schwartz-Burgess syndrome[1] and FCP[2]) is the sudden onset of numerous cutaneous papillomas that are indistinguishable from viral warts, and associated with underlying malignancy.[1][3]:63
History[edit]
It was discovered by Robert A. Schwartz MD and Gordon H. Burgess MD. The original description was published in the Archives of Dermatology,[4] which is published by American Medical Association.
Presentation[edit]
Florid cutaneous papillomatosis presents with verrucous papulonodules resembling viral warts.[1] These skin lesions develop on the trunk, extremities, and face[3]:63, and are almost twice as common in men than in women, especially individuals aged 53–72 years.[3]:66 This papillomatosis may also present with other cutaneous signs of internal malignancy, such as acanthosis nigricans type I and Leser-Trélat.[3]:66
Etiology[edit]
Florid cutaneous papillomatosis is associated with underlying malignancy, most often gastric adenocarcinoma[3]:63[5] but also with breast cancer, bladder cancer, hepatobiliary cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer,[6] prostate cancer[citation needed], and lung cancer;[7] however, the cause of FCP is currently not known.[1]
